Design of experiments (DOE) is a planned approach for determining cause and effect relationships that can be applied to any process with measurable inputs and outputs. DOE provides a statistical means for analyzing how numerous variables interact. In DOE Simplified - a comprehensive new introductory text geared for readers with minimal statistical background - the authors take a lively and fresh approach to learning the fundamentals. The book coverage includes all the essentials; basic statistics for DOE, simple methods for collecting and displaying data, how to draw inferences from data, the purpose of confidence intervals, comparative experiments for testing hypotheses, blocking sources of variation from the analysis, two-level factorial designs, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Practice problems and experiments help DOE students apply the concepts. Included with the book: CD with 180-day trial version of DOE software version 6.0 for Windows.
